Starting off the cool morning listening to this one again. Pass was such a focused and expressive player. And I feel the connection to Bird in this recording.

Donald Byrd "Places and Spaces" Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

Ordered two copies of this one by mistake. Probably my least favorite recording reissued in the series, but I must admit it sounds damned good in this edition.



The Mizell Brothers production here seems fresher and more energetic than some other collaborations. Of its time, not timeless, but an interiguing presentation.

John Mayall "Jazz Blues Fusion--Performed and Recorded Live in Boston and New York"

Freddy Robinson, Blue Mitchell, and Clifford Solomon make this a great record. I saw Mayall with Blue Mitchell the next year at the University  of Chicago when he was taped for one of those late night concert shows, in a double bill with the Ohio Players. A great night!

Wow, John Hicks poured himself into this recording, and the engineering on the piano is amazing!

John Hicks "A Billy Strayhorn Songbook: Something to Live For" HighNote cd



Followed by

A Chet Baker that was released that slipped by me til now.

Chet Baker "Late Night Jazz" Anagram/Elemental Music cd

With the always interesting Philip Catherine on guitar, recorded three months before Chet's passing. As the title suggests langorous and mellow performances.

Finishing off my first time through this excellent box set! Amazing sound quality for 'forties material. And the Red Norvo session starting off this disc is great.

Well, "Miles in France 1963 & 1964 The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8" arrived from cdjapan.co.jp today--I think, like the last one, it is really the same as the US version with a Japanese wrap around with track llsting etc. in Japanese and a separate Japanese text booklet outside the slipcase. It's a very slim and trim packaging, different size than the first six volumes. But hell. . . Lucy is taking a nap and I'm spinning disc 1, the first concert in Antibes which is previously not officially issued, and the sound is pretty darned good. The playing burns.

Another cold morning. I'm looking forward to a dinner out with the older of my two younger brothers and my sister-in-law (my favorite of six, don't tell the others). Fiona the dachshund is about to settle in for her first nap of the day and I'm ready to enjoy a few hours with the amazing sounding system.



"Miles in France 1963 & 1964 The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8" disc 2

This disc is mainly the previously released "Miles Davis In Europe" -- a favorite since the 'Seventies. As the second night in Antibes '63 it is more fiery and Tony Williams is proving to the world that he is a force that will present to the world a new way to drum. And George Colemen is ready to show Europe what he can do.

Had a great dinner with my brother and sister-in-law, so good to have a long talk with them about this year and its many events. Now a very cool morning with a hungry dog and a stereo system warming up.

This is the second time I've revisited this recording from the mid-nineties in the last wo mnths. It sounds so good on the system now and I appreciate it in a new way.


Herbie Hancock "The New Standard" Verve cd

What a band!

Herbie Hancock - piano
Michael Brecker - tenor and soprano saxophone
John Scofield - acoustic and electric guitar, electric sitar

Relistening to this disc before moving on, it's a good chunk of "Miles Davis in Europe" plus the track "Bye Bye Blackbird" which was not on that original LP.

Weather Report "Sweetnighter" Columbia LP

Listening to this one more time before refiling it. Such memories this vinyl evokes. A cool morning and Fiona let me sleep an hour plus longer and I'm grateful. Saw a doe and a yearling in my back yard this morning. She wasn't worried about Fiona but was staring me down. I just stood there (about 60 feet away) and talked gently to her. After a few minutes she moved her kiddo along slowly into the wood between my nearest neighbor and our property. Was a great moment.

I love the bass playing of Messrs Vitous and White on this album!

Now on to disc 4, the first of the box set that I have not ever heard before. . . and I'm happy (though not too surprised) to discover the sound quality is up to the previous two night's excellent standard.

And the music is yet more of this quintet discovering what they can and will do, listening to each other and stretching out and into the changes. Amazing material!

Again, because mid-way through yesterday's listening my wife decided to turn "Viet Nam in HD" up way loud downstairs and the Quintet was punctuated with explosions and helicopter sounds loudly from behind . . . not ideal.

Great performance!

Just in yesterday from Japan. . . this is now my best sounding version of this perhaps favorite Andrew Hill session.

RIP Mr. Haynes.

Another fascinating Bill Evans release. Seems a good fit for this cold rainy (very soggy) morning.

"The Bill Evans Album" Sony Blu-Spec CD2



This originally released 1971 album featured four new Evans compositions, and was the first album to feature only his compositions.

With Eddie Gomez and Marty Morelll.

Jackie McLean "Jackie's Bag" Blue Note Japan RVG SHM-CD

On to something else. . . hard bop and one of the appearances of the "gone too soon" Tina Brooks.

The opening track, "Quadrangle," seems an early response to the Ornette Coleman Quartet with some wonderful drumming from Philly Joe Jones.

Another cool and damp morning. We're finally getting typical November weather, though I think we'll have a few warmer and sunnier days starting tomorrow. I love the quiet and peaceful vibe of this time of morning outside.

Started off with a re-spin of some of the Garland at the Prelude disc 1 then saw Ron Carter talking about Stanley Turrentine's "Sugar" on Facebook and decided to spin this "CITI-RVG" cd version from King Records Japan. What a great session with Freddie Hubbard and George Benson and Ron Carter.

Re-listeing to disc 5 of this new box set. In part because it is one of the parts of this box set I did not have before, and in part because I just don’t want to get to the end of this set so am saving disc 6 for . . . probably tomorrow.

John Hicks Trio "Impressions of Mary Lou" HighNote cd

John Hicks - piano

I love how he sneaks that bass line from "Isn't it About that Time" into the end of the first track.

Finally listening to the final disc. What a great set. One could wish that the last two discs sounded a bit better, but if wishes were horses there would be dung everywhere.
